1t makes the greatest difference in
the world whose OK happens to be gored.
1t is all right with a certain set of fel-
lows as long as the Cancellation business
runs their way. But if they are called
upon to do little conciliating business
themselves it's all wrong. Out upon
such One-sided people for lot of con-
ceited asses.-C Commonwealth.
You are right, Mr.. Commonwealth,
as long as rebel brigadiers would agree
to vote the Republican ticket the one
sided long ears were willing to concil-
late, and give those most active in the
attempt to destroy the Union, impor-
tant foreign missions, and the latest
home offices. The conceited asses are
out of power now, and are not in a
humor to do any conciliating business.

The failure of the last Congress to
pass a law reducing the surplus, is be-
ginning to have its effect upon the
finances of the country, and unless
something is done, the surplus money
of the country will be transferred from
the pockets of the people to the treas
ury at Washington, at the rate of
800. 000, 900 a year and more. How to
stop this is question on which Dem
ocrats differ. Those of the Randall
stripe favor the repeal of the tax on
tobacco and whiskey. Others want
the tariff taken off of sugar; others say
let the government go into the market
and buy unmatured bonds, while the
genuine Democrats, like speaker Car
Isle, insist that the best way is to re-
duce the tariff on all necessities of life.
Then conflicting theories would have
to be harmonized. The Democrats
will have a small majority in the next
house. and the Senate will be in con-
troll of the Republicans, hence both
parties will be responsible for what
ever may or may not be done. Here,
again, we are brought face to face with
a great economic queStion-One that
effects Democrats and Republicans
alike. The Republicans want to divert
the issue to the war, and will stand
back and let Democrats fight it out,
taking sides with which ever faction
promises to do them-not the country

MIR. L. E. Dewey followed with a
review of the lessons of the last quar-
ter, considering each lesson under the
following heads: where? when? who?
what? Lesson? The following lessons
were brought out:
L. Be not envious.
2. Grandeur of forgiveness.
3. Honor thy father and mother,
4. Man cannot Illustrate Gods
plan.
D. God often uses humble means.
3. God is with those who work for
him.
z. We are saved by faith.
s. God protects his followers.
8. God provides for his followers.
10. Duties to God.
IL. Duties to man.
Mr.. Dewey emphasized the idea that
1t is the duty of the teacher to see

The prospect for large corn crop in
this county, is most cheering. A few
pieces planted near wheat is being
damaged to some extent by the chinch
bug. If farmers will consult their best
interests, they will stop raising wheat.
Thirty i've years ago wheat raising was
the principal farm crop in Northern
Ills, now almost entirely abandoned.
Cattle, hogs and Summer crops are
giving the farmer larger profits.

The New York Tribune rejoices that
some of the foreign powers are impos-
ing high duties on American grain,
claiming that high duties on imports
is growing in favor. How pleasant it
will be for American farmers when all
foreign countries, in retaliation for
our needs by high tariff, impose duties
on farm products that will shut us out.

Governor Foraker has arranged to open
the Ohio campaign on Tuesday, septem.
Der 7, at the famous old patriotic reunion
town OF Caldwell. We don't know that
the gallant Governor has any sinister mo-
tive in this, but he may remember that
Hayes made 8 similar experiment in, 1875
and Garfield in 1879 on the same spot,
each in turn reaching the Presidency the
year following his Caldwell campaign
opening. Foraker is more ola Presidential
possibility to-day than either Hsyesor Gar
field was at this distance from the con-
Vention.
The lightning still fingers in that neck
OF woods, and already the alogan Of Pri-
vate DAlzell is sounding up and down the
historic valley of Duck Greek, and he
predicts that the Boys in Blue are going
to be on hand by thousands to meet and
greet their ccinrade Foraker in one Of the
grandest MACS meetings ever seen in that
little town Of great gatherings.
We have been counting Private Dalzsll
among the Sherman boomers, but it may
be that he he's set his heart on Foraker
since that flag letter snd IL determined to
give him staff in the way that Hayes
and Garfield :rod. Dalzsll ia no slouch
in politics, snd he goes his length for his
isvorite. Good luck to the opening meet
ing, any how.
